UConn opens as 29 point underdog vs. Wyoming

[WestCoastHusky]

That state of Wyoming must have a great recruiting base. Like New Jersey or Ohio. Don’t give me this crap that we can’t be competitive because of the size of our state. !

Tired of folks that kept saying Uconn can't build a great football program due to its location.

What does state of CT has over Wyoming? Well, just about everything so don't give me that crap Uconn can't have a competitive football program.

We will score at least 21 this week! Offense should take another step forward. Would be nice to see defense take a step forward! If they do we will win outright.

Not unless it is over early and they pull their starters.

I was looking @ their roster yesterday. +/- Dozen kids on Wyoming’s roster are actually from Wyoming. Majority of others from CA, CO, Tx and Neb. It’s what you do w/ them once you get them.

That’s my point. We pull PA NJ Texas FL GA and some Canada and we should be able to be competitive

To your point, once upon a when, in another lifetime that was 2014, there was clamoring for UConn to hire Craig Bohl (who knows if he would have come this far east). Wyoming hired Bohl, we hired Diaco.

Since then? Wyoming, under Bohl, has gone 41-44 and 2-1 in bowls.

We’ve gone 17-59 and 0-1 in bowls.

Ill be thrilled to see us score 7 on the Wyo defense but don’t see it happening

I guess we will see on Saturday! That is why they play the game!

If it weren't for Colorado we wouldn't have a football team. Bohl has been good getting Wyoming kids on the roster, a few who have gone on to the NFL. Bohl concentrates on the Midwest for linemen and Texas and California for skill players (i.e. Josh Allen). We don't have many from west of the Mississippi. He really didn't want to play Clemson (go figure) as it wouldn't help recruiting.

Best way to look at this game from Wyoming's perspective is as a final tune up before league play begins. The Pokes have a bye next week before they travel to Air Force followed by a home game hosting Fresno State. Assuming the Pokes control the game, I see the ones getting pulled as early as possible and giving the backups some PT. If the Huskies put up a fight then I see the Pokes trying to get the lead and going into ball control mode.

In reality, who knows how this come out? That's why they play the game.

That Temple line is wacky. Wagner is just about the worst team in FCS.

They are probably the worst in the NEC, but right now at least a few Patriot League teams (Lehigh, Colgate, Bucknell), a few MEAC/SWAC programs, and the almost the entire Pioneer League are probably worse. But that just semantics
